Here are the details for matchweek 16 of ISL 2024-25 with the latest match report coming first:
Chennaiyin FC 2-2 Odisha FC
(Wilmar Jordan Gil 48', 53'; Dorielton 80', Mohammed Nawaz (OG) 90+7')
Chennaiyin FC once again let a promising position slip as they dropped two points at home after having been in a two-goal lead. Wilmar Jordan Gil put Chennaiyin in command with two good goals early in the second half, both coming after influential work from Connor Shields in the build-up.
After an even first half that Chennaiyin slightly shaded, even with lesser position, they sprung to life with those two goals from Jordan, but Odisha got Hugo Boumous to pull strings in the dying stages of the game, and were massively helped by a superb Diego Mauricio cameo off the bench. First, they pulled one back through Dorielton, who scored his first goal for the club, since being signed as the injured Roy Krishna's replacement.
It was another new signing who was in the thick of the action for the equaliser as Rahul KP got in on a rebound after Mohammed Nawaz's save from a close-range Mauricio shot. Rahul's bicycle kick slammed the post and then ricocheted into the net off the goalkeeper, who was left hapless.
FC Goa 1-1 Hyderabad FC
(Armando Sadiku 52'; Allan Paulista 90+1')
FC Goa shared the spoils with Hyderabad FC in an ill-tempered encounter at Fatorda, that saw both sides reduced to ten men, followind red cards to Borja Herrera and Alex Saji. Eventually, Allan Paulista's equaliser in the 91st minute prevented Goa from moving up to second on the ISL table, past Bengaluru FC.
They had looked on course to doing just that when Armando Sadiku gave them the lead with a smart finish early in the second half, but their job became harder when Herrera was sent off for violent conduct. However, soon after that, Saji picked up a second yellow card for hauling Sadiku back from behind him.
In the first minute of second-half stoppage time, Paulista produced an excellent turn and shot which saw Hyderabad pick up another point.
